February 6th 2018 Update Discussion

[konstifik]

I had some of my old missions reset, namely the purging: The Purge, Purge Hunter, Purge Boss and Dungeon Purge. I had cleared all levels of these, but those were now all reset so it looks like I didn't clear any of them, and my cleared missions counter in the Achievements tab went back to 182.

(I did log in from a new device just prior to the update, it may also be connected to that rather than the update.)

My only doubt about this update so far is: Shard or not Visions... I'm really liking him atm. The buff stealing (including gold) is just awesome.

Cheers, Ed.

Same here. I had 2 SS spared and put them in him. I think I’ll finish him. He needs the right team and I saw a lot of people that attacked my team with him.

You should do something about those servers. It is getting worse and worse... it takes up to 10 minutes to validate a win sometimes...

[Yup]

yeah. Yesterday was stutter city. Now I need to reboot the game after about 20 minutes so I don't have to wait 3 minutes for a match to finally show the treasure and end.....


And now every arena match is followed by 6-10 tries to get past the APMA3 error.

Yeah timeouts are on the rise again. Last week was not bad for me but this week back to APMA and timeouts and app crashes - maybe three or four a day or so. Getting the win chest can take a fair bit of time too - something tells me they just need to get a better/bigger server or something as i have never seen this on any other game i play on my phone ever.....they can crash of course but very infrequently.

It would be good to get this fixed......and ASTRA too, is there something up with her ability to stun. I am getting owned so many times when I lose the coin toss and ASTRA stuns everyone or someone rmeoves my immunity and then she stuns most if not all of my team.....coin toss is becoming OP, LOL!

Also still seing a lot of GCOTD so the nerf/fix has not put everyone off using him...me included!

There was a fix we did to ensure certain effects that should count for making progress for those sets of missions actually contributed, but there is indeed a bug where this has re-exposed them as incomplete for players who have completed them previously. We are investigating what the fix to that would be.

well at least a very welcomed bug

Sparton something to note for Vision's take. I was against someone who had an immortality 1 turn on one character and immortality infinite turns on another when Visions Eddie used his take move I was able to remove both but I was given the one turn immortality would think it should give the buff with longest life. I am thinking it gives the one with their position closest to the left.

Heads up players; we've got a hotfix that has recently arrived. Part of the fixes are available from getting the App Store update, and part of them are already sent to you via server data fixes:

• Fix for certain characters proccing effects conditional on removing effects, even if an effect is failed to be removed due to Perfect Immunity or being a Golden Positive Effect (reported most commonly as Astra stunning even when not removing an effect)
• Fix for Hallowed Eddie's The Truth not providing positive effects to all allies
• Improved stability to reduce frequency of random crashes
• Improved load time into the game from the front end
• Various other minor fixes

Yeah, there's a general issue our game has when comparing status effects with infinite duration to status effects with a normal duration. Basically, it should be treating "infinite" as larger, but it doesn't always do that. I think this is prioritized to be worked on soon, and it'll fix similar issues to what you're describing as well.

Yeah timeouts are on the rise again. Last week was not bad for me but this week back to APMA and timeouts and app crashes - maybe three or four a day or so.

This is something we're investigating, but thanks for posting to check.

.and ASTRA too, is there something up with her ability to stun. I am getting owned so many times when I lose the coin toss and ASTRA stuns everyone or someone rmeoves my immunity and then she stuns most if not all of my team.....coin toss is becoming OP, LOL!

That issue should be resolved based on the hot fix notes at the top of this post, thankfully.

It seems that Ascension isn't working like it should. My Astra usually does 1402 per hit with her basic, when she got Ascension from Hallowed Eddie her basic still only did 1402 per hit.

Did a bit more testing with Seventh Son Eddie and Astra WAS benefiting from Ascension. So I guess Hallowed Eddie's fury still isn't working quite right.

Yeah, that sounds like a data issue for Hallowed Eddie's The Truth. I'll look into getting that fixed for a subsequent update.

By the way, how many missions are there in total?

Right now, there is a total of 200 Mission Challenges, and you'll need to complete all 200 to complete an Achievement Challenge that'll give you fragments to earn the Crimson Pharaoh Dog.

I think it's been mentioned before but, is there any fix planned for Clairvoyant's power skill. She's supposed to revive a random ally but it doesn't always work. I think it's because she chooses to try and revive someone who died with permadeath rather than one who died without it. Just saw it happen to the defense in PvP. Wouldn't have changed the outcome, but I felt sorry for her failed effort.

Yeah, I think right now that's technically expected design (part of the value of Permadeath is increasing the likelihood of revive effects failing one way or another, and it revives a random ally, not a targeted ally). However, I can see how that can seem odd. I'll discuss that with Kaz and see what he thinks.

I have a feeling that this might be caused by those fancy lightning effects added. the game gets “heavier” with every graphic improvements added and gets hard for weaker devices to process. i am having massive lags even on my iphone 6 now, so androids might struggle even more with all those bling blings...

Yeah something has caused the game to lag a lot here lately when something with lots of buffs takes a hit. Mostly pvp, but the troll waves in pve also lag like mad. It was smooth as butter a few weeks ago other than the occasional pvp stutter.

The hot fix that has recently gone out should actually fix some of the spikes of lag or slowness that you guys are describing, so I'd recommend checking your respective stores to see if you've gotten that update.
